Are caged birds allowed?

[extravaganzamom]

My daughters and I are visiting the World this coming June. I just found out that my husband might be going out of the country at the same time. He was supposed to take care of our Quaker parrot. If a bird is caged, are they allowed in the hotel room? If not, do they have someplace on property to leave a pet bird? Trying to find a solution!

Another Quaker owner I feel your pain and problem...... They are our babies too. Mine is so picky that she will not eat when we leave unless she has one of the two sitters that watch her. I am sorry to tell you that birds of any type are not allowed anywhere on property. (Unless in the wild or at AK). They will not even allow little Buddgies. Our little green or blue children are very loud too. Quakers are one of the loudest birds of any of the small parrots. We as the owners just get so use to it, we do not hear it anymore.The squaks would be heard by more than your neighbors. So, to ask if it would be noticable, I am telling you it sure would be. Even if you "tried" to do it and "skipped Mousekeeping" each day, the guest would know. Even if you leave them caged, the answer is no. I suggest going to your local birds club and many times they know of sitters or go to your vet that cares for our little feathered children and many times they know people who are feather sitters. If you lived here, I would take your baby without a moment of thinking.... Mine is 12 yo BTW, soon to be 13.

Though I'm sure your bird is quite lovely. Please don't bring a bird. The walls are thin (every hotel). I'd hate to be your neighbor and hear a bird chirping all the time.

No pets.

Unless your bird is somehow a service animal, no pets are allowed. And the on-site kennel only works with animals of the canine persuasion (possibly feline too, but I've only ever seen dogs there). Your bird is best left at home.

I remember reading in one of my guidebooks (I think it was Passporter. I was reading that most recently), about a kennel, maybe near Fort Wilderness, that took snakes, birds, etc. Not sure if you feed them or they do, but they will put a roof over his head. Sorry, I didn't pay much attention to it because hopefully I'm never in that position. I feel for you!

What about a neighbor or local pet sitting service coming to check in on the bird. The ones around here come in 1-3 times a day and daily fee is definitly as much as a kennel PLUS you wouldn't have to transport him.

I certainly hope not.

Was at a resort where someone smuggled a parrot in. Was not a huge issue until the bird started talking during that night.

Lets just say that the owner did not teach the bird very nice words and management was called by about 10 guests

I would love to bring my border collie with us too but pets are best left at home with a sitter or in a kennel.

I would highly suggest that you look into a pet sitter who will come to your house and take care of the bird. There are tons of them popping up these days. We have a wonderful service for our four cats and they do a lot more than just the cats. They also bring in our mail and newspapers while we are gone so no one can tell we're not home. They will also do a wide variety of things like rotate the blinds in the house, turn on and off lights, water plants, etc. We have total peace of mind on vacations now.

If there isn't a pet sitting service, put the bird in a Disney kennel. But I'd talk to my vet first about having the bird travel. The bird might not like it too much.

I would talk with the vet for your bird. They could recommend a pet sitting service that specials in birds or your vet might even have a boarding area for it.

My vet has a whole seperate boarding section - they have it for dogs that includes their doggie day care (my dog has made several friends there) and a cat luxury area.

Please do not even attempt to bring your pet into your room unless it is a service animal.

As suggested above I'd check the kennels near Ft Wilderness to see if they take birds and if they have room to take him/her when you are at WDW

You obviously don't own a larger bird. Now granted my Harlequin macaw is bigger than the OP's Quaker parrot, but my Jonah has never 'chirped' in his life. When he's not muttering, cooing, or talking, he 'SCREAMS' loud enough to wake the dead (about the same time every morning and again every evening). You can easily hear him outside my brick house with all the windows shut and the outside central air unit running. God forbid anyone rings my doorbell during the day. He'll scream like he's being killed. Sorry, but reading the word 'chirping' to describe the noise the bigger parrots make just struck me as hilarious. My macaw is sweeter than any dog or cat, but sounds louder than any fire engine or ambulance siren you ever heard when he gets round up.

To the OP, I know your little quaker is alot smaller than my macaw, but there is no way Disney would ever let either of them into one of their rooms. When I go to WDW, my neighbor's son comes over a couple of times a day to take care of my big feathered baby.

Thanks for all of the advice everyone! I'm not going to take "Enrique" with us on our trip. I just didn't realize how intelligent birds were until we got the Quaker. Besides the water and nutrition, he definitely needs interaction! I'll find a "bird" person to help us out!

I think so too. Several years ago, our friends said they left two birds with the Animal Kingdom kennel. The rules may have changed though.
